A Race Dedicated to Raising Awareness About Childhood Depression Will Honor Cameron Gallagher

In the last week of her life, 16-year-old Cameron Gallagher came to her parents with an idea. She wanted to launch a community footrace to promote awareness about childhood depression, from which Cameron suffered.

Her parents suggested that she focus instead on school. "We said, 'We love the idea, Cameron, but you're failing English,' " David Gallagher recalls telling his daughter six days before her death this March.
